Sunday

A 24-year-old St. Augustine woman died in a crash on State Road 16 at Four Mile Road around 7 a.m Saturday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

According to an FHP release, Samantha Jean Silvers, 24, of St. Augustine, was hit by another vehicle that failed to stop for a red light.

Silvers was in a 1998 Mazda four-door stopped on Four Mile Road at the intersection of State Road 16. When the light turned green, she tried to turn left but was hit by a Ford truck.

A St. Johns County Fire Rescue release said that Silvers was pinned in the overturned vehicle and had to be removed by rescue personnel.

She was taken to Flagler Hospital in critical condition as a trauma arrest. However, crews reestablished vital signs while on the way to the hospital, and she was flown to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. Silvers died there.

The other driver had minor injuries and was not taken to a hospital.

No charges have been filed, but the investigation is ongoing.
